Hi, Folks -
Mission Possible founder Dr. Betty Martini sent this to those on her distribution list:
=====
Jack Harrison is correct. I've received complaints for years and Dr. H. J. Roberts said aspartame escalates asthma. The complaints have been horrible nightmares. The company has been contacted many times. Remember that aspartame is a psycho drug that interacts with all antidepressants. It triggers everything from bipolar and hallucinations to suicidal tendencies, panic attacks, schizophrenia and paranoia. We've contacted the company many times. Here is an email I wrote the FDA about it: including case histories http://www.wnho.net/fda_probes_suicide_in_singulair.htm The do nothing FDA as usual did nothing having no interest in protecting consumers.
As the article points out there is a 3,000 percent increase in the risk of aggression! It also says the risk of nightmares is increased by 22 times and suicidal thoughts by 20 times. It increases the risk of depression 7 times in kids and adults alike.

Halloween monsters? Friday the 13th omens? October horror movies?
Those are nothing!
Because if you're on certain meds, you could have nightmares that'll make the scariest slasher flick look like Barney, the purple dinosaur.
New research is a wakeup call over the chilling side effects of one common asthma drug taken by everyone from little kids right to 90-something combat vets.
This med is supposed to help you breathe easier.
But it could also cause anyone taking it -- including that grizzled war hero -- to have nightmares so vivid they wake up in a cold sweat.
The drug is called montelukast, but you may know it better as Singulair -- and the new study finds it can go Alfred Hitchcock on your brain with "psycho" side effects, including nightmares and aggression.
If being sleepless and angry isn't bad enough, the study finds it can give you depression and headaches, too.
This isn't some remote risk, either.
The study finds montelukast can increase the odds of aggressive behavior in kids by 30 TIMES.
In percentages, that doesn't even look real. That's a 3,000 percent increase in the risk of aggression!
Not a kid? You're not in the clear. The drug will increase the risk of nightmares by 22 times... suicidal thoughts by 20 times... and depression by seven times in kids AND adults alike.
It'll also double your risk of headaches -- and that's really just the beginning of the nightmare, since those are just the risks of this one drug.
Others are just as bad, if not worse.
Asthma drugs in general can make you gain so much weight that you feel like a Thanksgiving bird. They can cause you to lose your hair, too -- but since they also pack memory loss, maybe you'll forget all about it.
But there's no forgetting another side effect: They can make your bones so weak they could snap, leaving you not only in agony but living with permanent disability.
"I know, I KNOW!" you might be thinking. "But I have asthma... I NEED those drugs!"
Well, friend, maybe you do. But odds are, you don't.
Folks with well-controlled asthma can often "step down" from meds, cutting their doses and, in some cases, even eliminating them except for a rescue inhaler. One study a couple years back found that "step down" patients actually did BETTER than folks who kept on their normal doses.
Don't try this on your own, but work with a doc -- and if you're careful, you just might be able to save the nightmares for Halloween movie night.
Waking you from the asthma nightmare,
Jack Harrison
